Oldboy

The Good:
This movie just looked good.

The cinematography was top notch.

The color was rich.

The framing was excellent in a comic book kind of way.

The pacing was quick and never let up. Made the movie seem much shorter than it actually was.

The main actor - Min-sik Choi was very, very good.

The Bad:
This was billed as a horror movie, but it was not. It was definitely disturbing - but not as disturbing as it has always led me to believe. (One of the segments in this film is listed in Bravo's Scariest Movie Moments - but it wasn't nearly as bad as a ton of other things I've seen). It was no Ichi the Killer - but that's not necessarily a bad thing as Ichi the Killer made me feel like I needed to wash with steel wool just to get the grime off.

The movie was just too pretty to leave you nearly as disturbed as I think you were supposed to be.

All in all:
An Asian classic - not horror - not in the traditional sense. It had a very gritty, other-worldly Fight Club meets Nightwatch kind of feel. A must see for fans of good cinema.
